This is Susan Collins giving the most feckless response to ICE killings possible. She mastered the art of saying almost nothing while people are dying. The only proper response to the killing of Joan Sebastian Guerrero is outrage. VOTE HER OUT

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

sucks that it’s come to this, but if congressional Republicans wanted to put up a national gerrymandering ban or multi member districts etc, it would pass *for sure*. until then fight fire with fire

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like. This is the stuff I truly miss.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

The Constitution forbids any “establishment of religion“ by our government. But Christian extremists are hijacking our political system and using our tax money to foist their beliefs on us. It’s an obnoxious assault on American values.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

1. Impeaching POTUS doesn’t automatically impeach the VP and cabinet* 2. US officials can’t be tried at The Hague** 3. Trump is in the Epstein files *they have to be impeached individually **we would have to ratify the Rome treaty with a 2/3 vote in the Senate

ICE has shot another person at a “targeted traffic stop” in California between San Jose and Modesto. Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez is in critical condition after being shot for, what else, “weaponizing his vehicle.” #ProudBlue #ICEShooting #California #FuckICE www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Hegseth said we’ve rendered Iran combat ineffective for years to come. Just today, Iran has launched attacks at UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, damaging critical infrastructure (desalinization plants, oil pipelines, etc) Less than a week since they shot down an F-15 and an A-10.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

The 25th Amendment is not the only option. Article II, Section 4 provides for impeachment and conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors. That framework has always been there. The question is whether they have the courage to act. Trump needs to go. Now. #SheShed

MASSIVE NEWS: The following members of Congress are now calling for Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment: Call in to add YOUR SUPPORT: 202-456-1111 or 202-456-1414. This movement is now impossible to ignore. Share EVERYWHERE if you agree Trump needs to be removed. #Epstein #saschariley #nato

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

The American people need to go much further than simply voting out the Republicans. They need to put Trump and his associates on trial for crimes against humanity and then punish them accordingly. If they pretend all is good because they elect a Democrat, that isn't enough. Justice must be served.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

Trump says he’s “ordering” CNN to retract their reporting and “authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed.” Dude thinks he’s a dictator.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Terrence Killian (KindPunk) reposted

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
